I've been hearing from several friends who've legally immigrated to the US.

As I was falling behind on a lot of things in my life, I decided to upgrade a bunch of home network and automation stuff. I expected them to be easy, turn-key upgrades…

But now, I’m spending all my time troubleshooting network bullshit and am even further behind.

ADD is stupid and I am an idiot.

This weekend was a whirlwind.

A cabaret, cocktails, a drag show, video games, pizza parties, hacking, hating computers, log splitting, pro wrestling, and lots of time with good friends.

After months of physical therapy for an injured shoulder, I got back out on the golf course today. I had low expectations but planned to take it easy. 1st drive: 296 yards right down the middle. 2nd hole, birdie. 4th hole, birdie. Ended 4 over.

An unexpected round and a great start to the season.

This morning on our walk, my dog took a poop… so I went to grab a shit bag, but couldn’t find em.

I either dropped them along the way or forgot em at home. So I turned around to go get a bag when an old bitty neighbor of mine decided to scream at me for being an irresponsible dog owner.

It was fun

I’m not very excited about the state of the world. The abuse, cruelty and corruption that we’ve allowed is just sad.

Watching good friends and family become uncertain of their futures, or scared to do things as simple as visit another country…

This isn’t what freedom or democracy look like.

A very annoying first world problem that I just had: driving one of my cars while my wife follows me in another one of my cars, and my phone wirelessly connecting to the wrong car’s CarPlay.

Metal credit cards are a dumb idea.

Kari being out of town is bad for my health.

Holy shit. The faint goes hard live. I regret waiting this long to see them live. My god. What a show.

KARI’S OUTTA TOWN THIS WEEKEND. IT’S PARTY TIME BABAYYYY.

MY HOUSE TONIGHT. THE FAINT AT WOOLY’S TOMORROW NIGHT.

HIT ME UP.
LET’S HANG.

Today is very strange. And not just because of April Fools.

I let my home automation platform (NUC + Ubuntu + Home Assistant on Docker) slip on updates for a very long time. This morning, I decided to go scorched earth and rebuild it all with Proxmox and Home Assistant OS.

I have regrets. We’ve forgotten how to use a house that is not smart.

It’s so dark.

CLOSED CAPTIONS DRIVE ME CRAZY.

there. i said it.

Just did a food allergy test and had reactions to wheat, malt, hops, almonds, peanuts, carrots, celery, turkey, rice, coffee, green pepper, and orange.

Really great for someone who loves bread, beer and Asian food.

And now for a bit of normalcy. Back to work with no travel planned for a bit.

I am at a party called the clam jam and it is beautiful.

Has anyone ever considered that Donald Trump is a weirdo, huge bitch and also a complete piece of shit?

2,800 miles, endlessly beautiful landscapes, off-roading, good food, good beer, good times, and we escaped both life threatening situations that we got ourselves into.

Spring Break road trip success.
